Before arriving at the outer courtyard, I vaguely heard Yan's mother's voice coming: "Steward Chen, these things are given to the two young ladies by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, not to the Li Mansion, these things can't be put into the public treasury, you can't move them!" ”

", how could the Right Prime Minister's Mansion give so many things to the two young ladies for nothing, not to mention anything else, just give it to the fifth lady, and even say that half of it is Miss Nine, this is clearly a gift from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to the Li Mansion on weekdays, how did you get here, and you were not allowed to enter the Li Mansion's treasury." Steward Chen's cold voice came directly along Yan's mother's words: "If you stop people from moving things into the public treasury like this, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

Li Ronghua didn't care about anything else, and rushed directly to the outer courtyard: "You're welcome, may I ask Steward Chen why you're welcome!" ”

The mansions of the big families are divided into outer courtyards and inner courtyards, in order to avoid conflicts between 'female' dependents, and under normal circumstances, the ladies in the mansion do not go out of the outer courtyard at will.

But they're here to deal with things, and it's going to be a must.

As soon as Li Ronghua stepped out of the outer courtyard, he saw Chen's mother standing in front of the things brought by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, blocking the things that had been moved off the carriage by herself, and no one was allowed to touch them.

Steward Chen obviously didn't react to what Li Ronghua suddenly 'plugged in' in: "Naturally, I came according to the rules of the mansion, an old mother dared to covet the things in the mansion at will, and borrowed the name of the young lady, so she naturally had to be punished severely!" ”

The little guy next to Steward Chen noticed that the position of the voice was a little wrong, and he couldn't help but turn around, and when he saw Li Ronghua and Li Qiuyi who followed Li Ronghua in, his eyes widened instantly, and he wanted to remind Steward Chen.

If he helps the master 'get' these things into the public treasury today, he can't still keep some of these things in his hands before they enter the public treasury, these things, at first glance, are all good things.

Thinking like this, Steward Chen didn't stop his words, and continued to speak directly: "Come on, don't worry about this Yan mother, just move away!" In the final analysis, Mother Yan is not the Li family's own slave, but the right minister's mansion 'get' over, and she naturally doesn't understand the rules when she talks and does things. ”

At this moment, Li Ronghua had already walked next to Steward Chen: "It seems that Steward Chen's courage is indeed 'quite big', and he doesn't even take the master of the mansion seriously, no wonder he even dares to question the things on the genealogy of the mansion at will." ”

The voice had already come from his side, and Steward Chen finally reacted, his face changed instantly, but he still turned around to Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua saw the appearance of this Chen steward, her eyes shrank instantly, she has been looking for this person since she arrived at Li's mansion, but unfortunately she is not good at painting, she can only describe it, and mention her surname, she has not been able to find it, but she didn't want to go to the outer courtyard today, so she met it.

This person is the steward Chen who went to the outer house in person and wanted to drive her and Chen's mother out of the courtyard, but she fooled her back.

Yang Midwife and Wang Erjia all broke off the clues, and the person in front of her can be said to be the last clue to find out who her mother really died in, although she felt that the only person in the Li Mansion who could harm her mother's 'life' was the Li family, but she still wanted to find out completely and then deal with people.

Especially after finding out that the Li family had an affair with her eldest uncle, after all, the person who can do such a thing obviously has no feelings for her cheap father, and she didn't want to avenge her mother when she fell into the enemy!

Steward Chen saw Li Ronghua, his face was not good-looking, obviously he also recognized Li Ronghua, I don't know what he thought, it seemed to be empty, but soon, he became domineering, obviously thinking of her status in the mansion, as he was in the outer courtyard, there would be no one around, so he wanted to be cold to the nine girls, and he didn't salute, and said directly: "Miss Jiu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Qiuyi was most concerned about Li Ronghua's living situation in the mansion, and when he saw that Steward Chen didn't salute at the first time, he still spoke like this, and directly scolded loudly: "Seeing Miss Jiu, you don't salute quickly, how did you become a slave!" ”

Steward Chen saw that Li Qiuyi's face changed instantly, after all, Li Qiuyi was a 'daughter', and he still cared about it in the mansion, but when he thought that he had been ordered to grab the things of the two of them today, he instantly stood up a little straighter.

Li Ronghua saw all this in his eyes, and he was even more nervous about the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Mansion must have gotten some important news, so he would have such a direct attitude, not only did he not want to grab things with his face, but even his subordinates changed their attitude towards Li Qiuyi, who had a good position in the mansion, which can be imagined.

Li Ronghua directly stopped Li Qiuyi: "Fifth sister, this Chen steward doesn't even look at the old men in the mansion, and it's normal for me to be a little concubine master, it's normal not to look at it, don't wronged him to do such a thing in line with his identity, or send someone to invite the eldest uncle here directly, and see how the minions below don't look at the old men in the mansion." ”

Steward Chen didn't want to pay attention to Li Ronghua's words, but Li Ronghua opened his mouth and closed his mouth and said that he didn't look at the most powerful pillar in the mansion, if he didn't speak, it would be regarded as a tacit acquiescence in this matter, and when the time came, it would reach the ears of the chief steward, and then to the eldest master, he would not have a good result.

What's more, how many people are staring at his position as the outside manager.

"Miss Nine, you can laugh, where do the minions dare not look at the old men in their eyes, the old men are the heaven of the minions, the minions respect the masters the most, you slander the minions casually like this, the minions don't do it."

"I really don't see this, the slaves who respect the old men in the mansion will speak like before."

"Miss Nine, please don't 'make trumped-up charges', the slave really hasn't said anything disrespectful to the old man."

Li Ronghua asked directly: "Did you say that Mother Yan is not the slave of the Li Mansion?" ”

Steward Chen thought about it carefully, and responded directly: "The slave said this, but it was also Yan's mother who didn't understand the reason to say such things." ”

Steward Chen spoke with full words, obviously not wanting Li Ronghua to catch the handle.

The corners of Li Ronghua's mouth hooked, and when he responded to this sentence, he fell into her trap, don't want to escape again: "Don't say that Yan's mother is not sensible, that is, Yan's mother is really not sensible, and it is not your duty to say this!" ”

"My mother-in-law married into the Li Mansion, her name was entered into the family tree, and she was a member of the Li Mansion, and Mother Yan was the dowry of the fourth lady of the Li Mansion, and she was the slave of the fourth lady of the Li Mansion, so why was she not the slave of the Li Mansion, or was it child's play to question the things on the main family tree when Steward Chen said this?"

Li Ronghua said with a slight pause: "I didn't expect Steward Chen to be so powerful, a minion, even the most important thing in the master's family, the relevant genealogy can be said casually, if this is spread outside, I am afraid that it will be a shame on my uncle's ability to steward the housekeeper, even the slave has to climb to the head, and he is about to become an ancestor." ”

"Let me ask you, a slave regards himself as the ancestor of the master's family, where does he have to respect the master!"

Steward Chen, who didn't react at all, heard Li Ronghua say this, and his face finally couldn't help but change, no one expected that Li Ronghua's words buried such a pit and waited for him here.

In this case, if the stewards who want to take his place are sent out, it will be a big trouble, and even the master behind him may not be able to protect him, after all, in this mansion, what is needed is a well-behaved slave who respects and obeys.

At this moment, Steward Chen didn't dare to look at Li Ronghua anymore, and looked at Li Qiuyi pleadingly: "Fifth Miss, the slave really doesn't mean that. ”

"That's not what you mean, and what do you mean?" Li Ronghua naturally wouldn't let the other party escape at will, and she made up her mind like this.

Almost in this short moment, the eyes of those servants in the outer courtyard have become different and awe-inspiring, and they naturally respect the ladies in the mansion, but their attitude towards Li Ronghua is different.

The other ladies in the mansion asked them to bow their heads, that was their identity, Li Ronghua, that was really powerful, so that they didn't dare to offend her casually with Li Ronghua's identity from the bottom of their hearts! Even if Li Ronghua's identity will not have too high a status in the mansion, they dare not offend.

Steward Chen lowered his head, and after a while he spoke again, gritted his teeth and admitted the mistake: "It's the slave's inappropriate words, and I ask the young lady to forgive me." ”

After speaking, Steward Chen looked at Li Qiuyi, and the look in his eyes was obscure: "Fifth Miss, you must know that the slave really does not mean this, but the rules of the Li Mansion, the relationship between the mansions, and the gifts returned by other mansions, naturally have to go into the public treasury, where is there anything to be transported to the small treasury of the young lady, but my mother is strict, so I have to say such a thing." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Qiuyi glanced at Li Ronghua and couldn't help but look at Steward Chen and ask.

As Steward Chen spoke, his expression returned to naturalness: "Don't you know, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion received the New Year's gift from the Li Mansion a few years ago, and this will 'get' three carriages to send things over, and at first glance it is the return gift of the New Year's Festival. ”

When Li Qiuyi was said like this, his brows couldn't help frowning, obviously making up the meaning of these words, and he instantly thought that his grandmother's New Year's Day gift had never been returned until now.

If that's the case, then this thing is coming, and it's really not good-looking if it doesn't look good in the mansion, just for the sake of the face of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, she also needs to make up for this matter.

However, Li Qiuyi was moved, but she has been talked about a lot by the old lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion these days, and it still has an effect, even if she has an idea in her heart, she didn't say it directly, but looked at Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua listened to Steward Chen's words, but he was instantly happy, this is all here, and he still wants to fool people and say some word games: "Steward Chen, do you mean that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion received the New Year's gift of the Li Mansion this year, and did not return to the New Year's gift of the Li Mansion?" ”

As soon as Steward Chen heard Li Ronghua's words, the corners of his mouth instantly hooked, and he looked at Li Qiuyi, just waiting for Li Qiuyi to be unhappy, but after a while, his face became solemn.

Because Li Qiuyi didn't react at all except embarrassment.

You must know that there is a trap in Steward Chen's words, and this trap is that people are often most afraid of losing face, and in order not to lose face, sometimes many things are vague.

And Li Ronghua's question is to peel off the face of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the face of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is also Li Qiuyi's face, if the people next to him may directly scold Li Ronghua, admit some losses, give something, and pass this matter, after all, if you get the New Year's gift, if you don't return the gift, you are greedy for this little thing, and it will be absolutely difficult to see the extreme.

With this alone, Manager Chen is confident that Li Ronghua can't say anything about the power of his words, and it's okay not to say that he suffers from a loss, but if he says it, he will only be unlucky.

It's a pity that Steward Chen underestimated Li Qiuyi's trust and love for Li Ronghua, which was enough to hold back and not speak in such a situation.

And if Li Qiuyi doesn't break out, the unlucky moment for Steward Chen is coming, he has to answer the question in front of him, and the answer is wrong.

If the answer is not, then he is a trap to deceive the master, although he can't catch the verbal handle, it is also wrong, and the things he wants to leave behind in the right prime minister's mansion can't be kept, and if the answer is yes, this is a lie, in case it reaches the master's ears, this is a big handle!

A big handle that can be lost at any time!

He never thought that he, an old steward of the Li Mansion who had been in charge for more than ten years, would be 'forced' to such a dilemma by a little girl!

Li Ronghua didn't give Steward Chen time to think, she already knew that Li Qiuyi would never refute her, so she would ask directly here: "Steward Chen, why didn't you answer my question just now, what did you mean by what you just said, but the Right Prime Minister's Mansion received the New Year's gift from the Li Mansion this year, and didn't return to the Li Mansion's New Year's gift?" ”
